Stars
Tesla Boy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it's cold, time has frozen
There are no strangers around
Empty streets on horizon
And shelter cannot be found

Someone says that you're falling
Someone says that you're going down
Don't believe, dont be crawling
You would better run, better run

Just only stars that shining in the dark
Can understand and give you that one spark
Through moonlight miles i'm calling back to you
Can't you see that this heart is beating true

Morphine lights, spreading windows
Are gleaming just like a ghost
Then it seems that you're bleeding
And all connections are lost

Someone says that you're falling
Someone says that you're going down
Don't believe, don
t be crawling
You would better run, better run

This universe is too small
My feelings accrue




And with electrical flow
I know, I'll see you

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Tesla Boy's "Stars" set a desolate scene, one where time has frozen and the world outside is empty and unwelcoming. In such a bleak environment, it's easy to lose hope and succumb to despair. But the song's narrator urges listeners not to give up, not to "be crawling" in defeat, but to keep running towards a brighter future. Though the journey may be difficult, the stars above can guide the way, offering a glimmer of hope in the darkness.


As the song continues, we get a sense of the singer's longing for someone special. They may be far away, lost in a sea of "morphine lights" and "gleaming" windows, but the singer's heart is beating true, calling out to them through "moonlight miles." Despite the vastness of the universe, their feelings for this person only grow stronger, fuelled by an "electrical flow" that connects them across time and space.


Ultimately, "Stars" is a song about perseverance and the power of connection. Even when the world seems cold and uncaring, even when it feels like everything is falling apart, there's always a reason to keep going. With the stars as their guide, the singer urges us to keep running until we find what we're looking for.
